Why MILK?

It’s simple really… Mais and Inaas (Last name) Kiryakos

We’re the sister act who opened this little shop over a decade ago. One sister, living the dream as a visual merchandiser in Ottawa, and the other sister busting her chops as a technical fashion designer in Montreal.

Noticing the lack of independent shops that focused on trendy and affordable fashion, we did what any crazy and creative person would have done… we opened our own freakin’ boutique!

We’ve been proud to call Ottawa’s Byward Market home since day one: starting out in a tiny space on Dalhousie Street back in 2005 and moving to our current 2-floor William Street location in 2013. Nothing beats being in the heart of the nation’s capital!

With our curated selection of clothing, jewelry, and accessories, we quickly became one of Ottawa’s go-to shopping destinations. Oh and the cat stuff… ladies love the cat stuff.

This website is only a fraction of the goodies you’ll find in-store. To be honest, the time we probably should be spending taking product shots, we’re most likely having silly conversations with customers or “dancing” awkwardly to 90s r&b.

If you really can’t make it to the store or can’t live without that something you just saw on our Instagram, don’t hesitate to shoot us an email or give us a call. We’d love to help!
